Distribution en:
Description en: Genus of 2 species of cormous perennials, originally from subalpine grassland in South America but probably now extinct in the wild. They have narrowly lance-shaped, basal leaves, and bear crocus-like, brilliantly coloured flowers on leafless stems in spring. They are suitable for a rock garden or raised bed, but, in all except completely frost-free areas, should be grown in a bulb frame, cold greenhouse, or alpine house to protect the early growth from frost.
Hardiness en: Frost hardy, but early leaves are liable to frost damage.
Cultivation en:
Propagation en: Sow seed in containers in a frost-free frame, in autumn or as soon as ripe. Remove offsets in late summer.
Pests en: Trouble free.
